Internet Drafts and RFCs: 3gpp stuff

We recommend you make yourself familiar with how this archive operates before you start using it.

A mobility-related webpage is also maintained on the SIP Website. Check also the mobility documents. Note that many of these documents are coming from 3gpp crowd and may be designed for technologies other than the public Internet. They may or may not be accepted by the IETF. There is a Liason Statement from the IETF to 3GPP with some specific concerns about 3gpp arhictecture.

draft-ietf-v6ops-3gpp-cases-03.txt Summary "Transition Scenarios for 3GPP Networks", Jonne Soininen, 01-Apr-03,
This document describes different scenarios in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defined packet network, i.e. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) that would need IP version 6 and IP version 4 transition. The focus of this document is on the scenarios where the User Equipment (UE) connects to nodes in other networks, e.g. in the Internet. GPRS network internal transition scenarios, i.e. between different GPRS elements in the network, are out of scope. The purpose of the document is to list the scenarios for further discussion and study.

Private Header (P-Header) Extensions to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for the 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
Author(s) M. Garcia-Martin, E. Henrikson, D. Mills
Organization ietf
State informational
Size 79620 bytes
Abstract This document describes a set of private Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) headers (P-headers) used by the 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), along with their applicability, which is limited to particular environments. The P-headers are for a variety of purposes within the networks that the partners use, including charging and information about the networks a call traverses.

3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 5 requirements on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Author(s) Miguel Garcia-Martin
Organization ietf
Working group sipping
State unknown
Date 2002-10-11
Size 80060 bytes
Abstract The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has selected SIP [2]as the session establishment protocol for the 3GPP IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS). IMS is part of the Release 5 of the 3GPP specifications. Although SIP is a protocol that fulfills most of the requirements to establish a session in an IP network, SIP has never been evaluated against the specific 3GPP requirements for operation in a cellular network. In this document we express the requirements identified by 3GPP to support SIP for the Release 5 of the 3GPP IMS in cellular networks.

draft-kiss-simple-presence-wireless-reqs-02.txt Summary "Requirements for Presence Service in 3GPP Wireless Systems", Krisztian Kiss, 07-MAR-03,
This Internet-Draft defines requirements for Presence Service in 3GPP wireless systems.

rfc3327.txt Summary
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Extension Header Field for Registering Non-Adjacent Contacts
Author(s) D. Willis, B. Hoeneisen
Organization ietf
State proposed standard
Size 36493 bytes
Abstract The REGISTER function is used in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) system primarily to associate a temporary contact address with an address-of-record. This contact is generally in the form of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), such as Contact: and is generally dynamic and associated with the IP address or hostname of the SIP User Agent (UA). The problem is that network topology may have one or more SIP proxies between the UA and the registrar, such that any request traveling from the user's home network to the registered UA must traverse these proxies. The REGISTER method does not give us a mechanism to discover and record this sequence of proxies in the registrar for future use. This document defines an extension header field, "Path" which provides such a mechanism.

draft-ietf-sip-scvrtdisco-04.txt Summary "Session Initiation Protocol Extension Header Field for Service Route Discovery During Registration", Dean Willis, Bernie Hoeneisen, 14-MAY-03,
This document defines a SIP extension header field used in conjunction with responses to REGISTER requests to provide a mechanism by which a registrar may inform a registering UA of a service route that the UA may use to request outbound services from the registrar's domain.
